Why doesn’t Drudge have a girlfriend or wife?

I think he's got a crush on the Socialist woman from France ... Royal. He never missed an opportunity to get her picture up.

The 53-year-old Ms Royal is the socialist party candidate for the presidency and would become France’s first woman president if elected.

Her manifesto demands equal rights for same-sex couples, paving the way for future anti-discrimination legislation should the French population elect her.

She has suffered from a series of gaffes during the campaign - at one point she appeared not to know how many nuclear submarines France has.

She also caused controversy by appearing to support the accession of Quebec from France and praised the Chinese justice system as “faster” than France’s.

Human rights advocates pointed out that China executes 10,000 people a year.

In 2000, as the Minister of the Family and Children, Ms Royal spoke out against anti-gay bullying in schools.

“School must be a place of tolerance, of welcome.

“Too many young people face teasing, social exclusion because of their sexual orientation. Some consider drugs, suicide attempts.

“It is time to stand up to this hostility shown towards homosexuality,” she said.

Royal has indicated that she is in favour of same-sex couples adopting.

In 2002, Ms Royal introduced a law that gave legal recognition to families with same-sex parents.

Speaking to the LGBT publication Tetu in 2006, she said she is in favour of same-sex marriage, something which is currently banned under President Jacques Chirac’s conservative ruling UMP party.

“Opening up marriage to same-sex couples is needed in the name of equality, visibility and respect.

(Wryly) Drudge also never misses an opportunity to post photos of Hillary. He seems obsessed with her.
